They pay plenty, not too mention all the $ collected per gallon by the federal government. I know your agenda is for no one to profit and the world to be covered with roses and nobody has to actually DO anything to get the things they need/want but that isn't reality. Exxon operates at about 10% profit, the fact that they move a lot of product makes their profit large. What about the matching funds they pay for their employees?
If you end subsidies for them you need to end them for everyone, this I am in favor of. EVERYONE, private citizens, private companies and public companies. All pay the same "fair share".
